Dr. King is a top Raleigh dentist, renown for providing quality, affordable complete dentures, partial dentures, overdentures and custom premium dentures, as well as same day laboratory denture repairs and denture relines. Repairs and relining are common and important for the alignment of the jaw. Alignment slowly changes as bone and gum ridges recede. Our expert dentist at Red Oak Dentistry is prepared to present you with your options and help you choose what would be best suited for your needs and lifestyle.

Denture Options: 

 
 Immediate Dentures

Our immediate dentures are can be fabricated and inserted after the teeth have been extracted, before the tissues have healed. We are also able to attach complete dentures to dental implants for a more secure fit of the device.

 
 Full or Complete Dentures

A complete denture, also known as a full denture, is a replacement or prosthetic device for patients missing an entire set of upper or lower teeth. This appliance replaces natural teeth and offers support for the cheeks and lips. Our denture teeth are made of porcelain or acrylic and held together by an acrylic base, usually flesh colored, that either covers the roof of the mouth or is shaped like a horseshoe, leaving room for the tongue.

 
 Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures are customized to replace a one or more missing teeth as opposed to replacing an entire upper or lower set of teeth. We design your partial denture according to your unique needs, so no partial is the same. A person’s specific dental needs and anatomy dictate the design of the partial denture we recommended to each patient.

We use metal and acrylic composition in some of our partial dentures. As previously stated, sometimes partial dentures with metal framework or partials dentures with both metal and flexible material are preferred for specific anatomical needs based on existing dentition. Dr. King will consult with you to determine the appropriate partial or partials for your situation. We will work closely with you to make sure your new dentures fit well and allow you to eat what you want and get back to your normal life.

Denture Care

take care of your denturesAdvice and tips on caring for your dentures

  • Only your dental professional is qualified to diagnose your oral health and adjust your denture or partial.
  • Dentures should be brushed inside and outside daily with a soft, large nylon denture tooth brush with round-ended bristles.
  • Use denture creams instead of toothpastes, which are too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Rinse with cold water.
  • Dentures warp if placed in hot water.
  • Inspect your denture regularly for worn teeth.
  • Worn and stained dentures can make you look older and cause your dentures to function poorly.
  • Discuss all your current medications with your doctor and dental professional.
  • Be sure to visit your dental professional regularly.
  • Have loose dentures checked immediately as they can cause friction and pressure on the gum tissues and bones.
  • When not in use, cover dentures with water or a denture-cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out.
  • Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for new dentures every 5 years.
